Sorry to have to show my total ignorance on the subject but I do have an old DOS program or two I'd like to fire up.

The most popular and user-friendly choice. Running classic DOS games and general DOS software.

A more advanced fork of DOSBox with better compatibility for non-gaming uses. General DOS emulation, including Windows 3.x, Windows 9x, and old productivity software.

This is my site to preserve old programs, drivers, etc. from before the Web when software was marketed as Shareware and distributed via dial-up BBS and CDROMs.
